July 12 OH, PIZZA!


It's time for color painting time!!!
Just
remember some things we talked about today when you're working on paintings in the future:


-knocking out areas of value with one stroke (BOOM! moments)
-foreground, middleground, background
-aerial perspective (things in the foreground have more contrast and sharper edges than things that are farther away)
-COLOR+VALUE, don't get crazy with color and forget that value is more important to your painting!
-the painting should STILL arrive as if out of a fog-- there is no area of the painting that is unimportant! Make sure you are relating colors and values to the entirety of the painting instead of focusing on just one area, such as the figure.
-skin has tons of colors in it! If you want to start with a base color for skin, try cadmium red, sap green, and titanium white
